Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Zhou Yanqian reached out and pinched Jinxi's cheek, dissatisfied with her current reaction: "Why are you making that face!"

Jinxi let him pinch her, and persuaded again, "Baby, I'll be very busy today, and you won't be able to play much if you come with me. I've already talked to Daddy, and later Daddy will take you and Daju and Dali to the flower park. Isn't this the park you like to go to the most? Daju and Dali have never been there before."

Zhou Yanqian hesitated for a moment. Daju and Dali had indeed never been to a park before. They had grown up recently and gotten used to the leash. He had been thinking about taking them out for a trip.

Jin Xi pressed her advantage, saying, "I'll be back soon."

Zhou Yanqian was leaning on her shoulder, now in low-battery mode again.

Jinxi asked, "Would you like to go upstairs and sleep a little longer? Shall I take you upstairs to sleep?"

Zhou Yanqian wasn't sleepy at all now that he was up. He said, "I'm not going to sleep anymore."

Jinxi said, "I'll take you to wash up and brush your teeth, and then we'll have breakfast together, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian gave a soft "hmm".

Zhou Linxu stood up, leaning on his cane, and said, "I'll take him. You go have breakfast so as not to delay your business."

Jinxi turned her head and said, "No need. Your leg is injured. I'll take him up. It'll only take a few minutes."

Zhou Linxu glanced down at his leg: "I'm a cripple now... it's really inconvenient for me to do anything."

Zhou Yanqian felt something was off about what he was hearing. Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Moreover, in his previous life, he had heard Gu Mingzheng speak in such a seductive tone, and then he would be understood and comforted. He really didn't understand!

Sure enough, the next second Jinxi replied, "Oh, that's not what I meant. I was just thinking it would be faster this way. What 'crippled' nonsense? You're not really crippled. You'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Hmm, it's nothing," Zhou Linxu said. "I'll go wait for you at the dining table."

Jinxi said, "Yes, I really didn't mean anything by it, so don't overthink it."

Zhou Yanqian rolled his eyes. He said he knew his gut feeling was right!

Zhou Linxu is just pretending to be weak! He's got that whole "Yao Yao" vibe about him!

Jinxi carried Xiaofeizan to the elevator and asked, "Walk down by yourself."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," but didn't move while holding the puppy plush toy. He remained perched on Jin Xi's shoulder and said, "Don't you like to hug me?"

Then let's hug it!

He just came down the stairs and now he doesn't want to walk at all.

"You're so lazy." Jinxi slapped his butt without any politeness. "Be more diligent. How can you be the senior brother if you're like this? Senior brothers are all very hardworking."

Zhou Yanqian pinched her ear: "How could you spank me!"

"What's wrong? Is your butt too delicate?" Jinxi suppressed a laugh: "I'll hit it, like bouncing a ball."

Zhou Yanqian ignored her; he and Jin Xi had nothing to say to each other!

Jinxi carried him back to the children's room. She seemed more at ease now, perhaps because she had just "talked things out" with Zhou Linxu.

She let Zan Zan brush his teeth and wash his face by himself while she went to the dressing room to find him clothes to change into, and she finished everything in less than ten minutes.

It was still hot outside today, so Jinxi dressed him in a beige T-shirt and a pair of wide-leg cropped pants. She said, "Baby is like a tender bamboo shoot."

Her exposed arms and calves are so chubby and fair, oh my god, who wouldn't be tempted by such a baby?

Jinxi kissed him twice more, very hard.

Zhou Yanqian was looking down at his OOTD (Outfit of the Day) when he was kissed. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't kiss me yet."

He hasn't even finished admiring it yet!

Jinxi chuckled softly and kissed his soft cheek again: "I'll kiss you. Do I need to pick a time to kiss my baby?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian simply hummed softly, without refuting her statement.

Jinxi also sighed in his heart. At first, when he was being affectionate and praising, he was either like a brain that had frozen and didn't know how to function, or like a little pig struggling and difficult to control.

Now it's all good; I've naturally accepted that I'll be kissed.

Jinxi lifted him off the bed: "Little bamboo shoot, let's go downstairs for breakfast."

Zhou Yanqian put on his dog slippers, took Jinxi's hand and walked downstairs. He said, "Come back early this afternoon, and we'll build the castle together."

"Okay, you and Dad can work on it first this afternoon, and then we'll work on it together when I get back. Let's try to finish it today, okay?"

Jinxi shook his little arm: "Zanzan, how can you be so cute? I'm going to faint from your cuteness."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the auntie brought them breakfast.

Today we ate Zan Zan's favorite three-delicacy wontons. Each one was filled with plump meat and had a delicious broth. He could eat twelve in one go!

Jinxi glanced at her wristwatch, finished her meal quickly, and said, "I'm leaving now. You have to listen to your father at home today."

Zhou Yanqian said, "I've never been an disobedient person."

He's not a real child, of course he can listen to orders!

After Jinxi and Zanzan finished speaking, they looked up at Zhou Linxu sitting opposite them.

She took a breath: "Um... I'll go take care of my work now."

Zhou Linxu nodded slightly: "Be careful and come back soon."

Jinxi smiled at him and said, "Mm."

Zhou Linxu stared at her smile for a moment, lost in thought. Jin Xi seemed a little flustered, but she still patted Zan Zan's little head, picked up her bag, and went to ride her little green bike.

Zhou Yanqian, biting his spoon, saw everything clearly. The atmosphere between the two of them had become very strange since last night.

Ah, forget it.

He's just a kid now, he can't control that much!

Jinxi arrived at the store almost at the last minute, just in time to meet the person taking over. The inspection didn't finish until 11 a.m.

Jinxi held the keys in her hand. After seeing the people off, she turned around and locked the shop. There were workers coming to put up the sign in the afternoon, so she went to eat now and then went to get the flyers she had ordered earlier.

Jinxi thought about it and realized there were quite a few things to deal with.

She also plans to create a social media account to film her daily training routine. She remembers that many people did this in her past life, so that parents and adults alike would feel more at ease when they see the videos.

As Jinxi walked out, she pondered what to do next, completely unaware that a car had quietly stopped in front of her shop after she left.

Zhang Lin looked at the shop that hadn't even been put up with a sign yet, never expecting that she would discover such an unexpected "happiness" while just passing by.

The driver asked, "Madam, may we go now?"

Zhang Lin snapped out of her daze: "Let's go."
